Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who take part in drug treatment programs in Pocahontas, Mississippi and in the USA. Court systems around the country often find it more effective to rehab men and women who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to tackle the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, rather than invoke such penalties. Most who do not wind up in alcohol and drug rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug treatment often don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
